 rich soil in drills fourteen 

 inches apart, and thin the

SPINACH. 



This is quite an important crop with market gardeners, 

 and one easily managed. 



For summer use, sow early in spring, in drills eight 

 inches to one foot apart, covering the seed one inch deep. 

 Select rich soil and manure liberally. A succession may 

 be obtained by sowing at intervals of two weeks through 

 the season. For very early spring use sow in August, 

 and protect the plants through the winter by a thick cov- 

 ering of clean straw or some similar light covering. 

 Spinach is used principally as greens for boiling, and is 

 very highly esteemed for this purpose. 



CURLED SAVOY, or BLOOMSDALE.- 



The leaves are finely curled, large, thick and heavy, and 

 are produced in great uumbers. By far the best and most 

 productive Spinach in cultivation. The kind most gen- 

 erally used by the truckers and large growers around 

 Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other large cities. 

 Our sales of this sort increase rapidly each year, 

 Pkt. 5 cts. \ lb. 10 cts. lb. 20 cts. 



LONG STANDING.-Best for spring sowing, as 

 it is very slow to seed. The leaves are large, round, un- 

 usually thick, curled and of a fine dark green color.

VICTORIA SPINACH. — This new Spinach 

 comes to us with the highest recommendations from the 

 growers. The foliage is heavy, the broad, dark green 

 leaves being of the true Savoy appearance, and of the 

 finest quality, but the most remarkable feature that will 

 make it of special value, both for market and family 

 gardens, is the fact that it is in prime condition from two 

 weeks to three weeks after all other varieties of Spinach 

 have run to .seed.

SQUASH. 



The Squashes are all quite tender, and 

 therefore no progress can be made in 

 starting them until the weather be- 

 comes somewhat warm and settled. 



Plant in hills five feet apart each way 

 for the bush varieties, and eight feet 

 for the running varieties, allow eight 

 seeds to the hill, but don't allow over 

 three to stand.
